Welcome to worship with Second Presbyterian Church. Whether you are worshiping with us in the Sanctuary or joining us through Livestream, on Facebook, or at home on TV, we are so glad to have you with us this morning. We are most thankful to worship as one community and to continue sharing in fellowship together.

Children are always welcome in worship. Childcare is also available for infants, toddlers, and two-year-old-children. Children's Chapel, a special time for Threes-Grade 3 following the Time with Children, will return on June 6.

Welcome Rev. Christopher A. Henry

Call to Worship Come, Holy Ghost, Our Souls Inspire VENI CREATOR SPIRITUS John Brewer, tenor

Come, Holy Spirit, our souls inspire, And lighten with celestial fire; Thou the anointing Spirit art, Who dost Thy sevenfold gifts impart.

Thy blessed unction from above Is comfort, life, and fire of love; Enable with perpetual light The dullness of our mortal sight.

Teach us to know the Father, Son, And Thee, of both, to be but one; That through the ages all along This may be our endless song:

Praise to Thine eternal merit, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.

Rev. Michael M. Samson

One: Come, Holy Spirit! Ignite our hearts with joy and confidence.

All: For God has done wondrous things for us.

One: Come, Holy Spirit! Fill us with the power of the rushing wind that we may faithfully serve you in all that we do.

All: For Christ has called each of us and blessed us.

One: Come, Holy Spirit! Be with us today.

All: Help us to boldly proclaim that Christ is Risen. Amen.

* Prayer of Confession

One: Merciful and gracious God, Our hearts cry out for you to make us whole again. Even as we celebrate that you have come to dwell within us, We have sinned against you and abandoned your commandments. We have been jealous, possessive, ambivalent, and impulsive. We have not heeded your Word and we have not cherished your covenant.

All: Help us to glorify you in all times and in all places. As our souls thirst for your living waters, Quench our needs and satisfy our love. That we may come back to you and be sent forth To fill the world with your mercy and grace.

First Scripture Lesson Romans 8:14-17

Anthem Ev’ry Time I Feel the Spirit William Dawson Sanctuary Choir; Dr. Michelle Louer, Conductor (1899-1990) [recorded in service June 9, 2019]

Ev’ry time I feel the spirit movin’ in my heart, I will pray. Ev’ry time I feel the spirit movin’ in my heart, I will pray.

Upon the mountain my Lord spoke, out of His mouth came fire and smoke. Looked all around me, it looked so fine, till I asked my Lord if all was mine.

Ev’ry time I feel the spirit movin’ in my heart, I will pray. Ev’ry time I feel the spirit movin’ in my heart, I will pray.

Jordan river, chilly an' cold, it chills the body but not the soul. There ain't but one train, upon this track. It runs to heaven and right back.

Ev’ry time I feel the spirit movin’ in my heart, I will pray. Ev’ry time I feel the spirit movin’ in my heart, I will pray.

Second Scripture Lesson Acts 10:34-48

Response

One: This is the Word of the Lord.

All: Thanks be to God.

Sermon Rev. Christopher A. Henry

“I Believe in the Holy Spirit” "While Peter was still speaking, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who heard the word."

(Acts 10:44)

Moment of Silent Meditation

We Give Thanks to God

* Affirmation of Faith From A Declaration of Faith, PC(USA) Rev. Karen L. Lang

All: We affirm that the Holy Spirit is the Lord and Giver of life, the Renewer and Perfecter of God’s people, the One who makes real in us what God has done for us. … We believe that by the power of the same Spirit, the church can be set on its way again, even when it seems beyond hope of renewal. We are grateful heirs of reformations and awakenings.

One: We are faithful to the reformers of the past when we hold ourselves open in the present to the reforming and renewing work of the Spirit. … We testify that today this same Holy Spirit makes us able to respond in faith to the gospel and leads us into the Christian community. The Spirit brings us out of death into life, out of separation into fellowship. …

All: The Spirit impels us to make the unity of Christians visible to a divided world and assures us that we shall be one. Amen.

Offertory Steal Away Spiritual, arr. H.T. Burleigh John Brewer, tenor (1866-1949)

Refrain: Steal away, steal away, steal away to Jesus! Steal away, steal away home, I ain’t got long to stay here!

My Lord, calls me; He calls me by the thunder; The trumpet sounds within-a my soul; I ain’t got long to stay here. Refrain.

Green trees are bending, Poor sinner stands a-trembling; The trumpet sounds within-a my soul, I ain’t got long to stay here. Refrain.

Prayers of the People Let Us Build a House TWO OAKS

The Lord’s Prayer

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.
